As with all things, there is a beginning. This one isn't very interesting, so rather than spending half the episode starting things off, let's jump straight into things.
As we start our story, the UES Enterprise is on its merry way through space. Not much of space is explored, so they don't have to go very far to find something new.
However, today was different than any other day that had come before. You see, the Enterprise was heading to the closest Tim Horton's cruise-thru for coffee and timbits.
And something went horribly wrong.
The Enterprise was knocked out of superluminal space.
"What's going on?" asked Captain Archer. "We've been pulled out of superluminal space, sir," said Lieutenant Mayweather." "I can see that! Why have we stopped?" said Archer. "We seem to be trapped in something," said Mayweather. "What?" "It appears to be a giant glass box." "No! We've become mimes!" "If it were only glass, wouldn't we be able to just break out of it?" commented Commander Reed. "It appears to be of something stronger than glass, obviously. It did stop us dead in our tracks, after all," said Sub-Commander T'Pau. "What is it with everyone and stating the blatantly obvious?" asked Archer. "I don't know, sir," said T'Pau. "That was a rhetorical question."
Just then, the crew was blinded by a flash and a mysterious being appeared on the bridge, which for some reason looked exactly like a human. He was dressed in black, with white skin and white gloves. He began to pantomime.
"Ooh! Charades! I love charades!" said Sato. "What's he saying, Sato?" asked Archer. Sato watched the mysterious being closely. "He calls himself O, sir." "Oh?" "Yes, sir. He says that he belongs to a group of similar beings called the O Continuum, no relation to the Q Continuum." "The 'Q' Continuum?" "He appears to be saying never mind, sir." "Ah." O gestured profuesly. "What's he saying now, Sato?" asked Archer. "I'm not sure, captain..." replied Sato. O gesticulated wildly. "I may be no linguistics expert, but I can tell when someone needs to go to the bathroom," said Reed. "Oh. Sub-Commander T'Pau, would you please show O to the bathroom?" said Archer. "This ship has a bathroom?" replied T'Pau, puzzled. "Yes. Contrary to public beliefs, starships actually do have bathrooms." "Well, no one told me where it was!" Just then, O sighed in exasperation as a small puddle began to form on the deck. "Eww!" yelled Sato. The rest of the crew laughed heartily. O was pleased. He began to gesture again. "According to O, their purpose is to make people laugh. Seeing as where his job is finished here, he's going to leave now. He says that he'll be back, whenever we need cheering up," said Sato.
And with that, O disappeared in a flash of light.
"Well, that sure was fun. But I want my coffee and timbits! Mr. Mayweather, set course for Tim Hortons, maximum speed!" said Archer "Er, wouldn't that be maximum velocity, seeing as where we're headed in a straight line?" asked Mayweather. "Whatever. Just do it!" "Aye, sir."
With that, the Enterprise engaged it's superluminal drive and was off. Tune in next time as we continue the wacky adventures of the UES Enterprise!
